Sure. Well, if it helps, the inserts from the WRX will fit in our strut bodies and provide a pretty solid working range in terms of stroke. Your droop will be curtailed, but the r/h and spring compliance will stay the same.

Like I said, the rears are easy. You'll just want to find units with similar extended/compressed lengths (and end connections) and bolt them on. For this, you can even go with cheap KYB's as our dampers don't have a ton of damping to begin with, so many OE replacement units for another cars will offer an intermediate step up in damping. I think I used some from an older Corrolla and they were straight dialed, and were $30/side.

Something tells me, though, that the rules are more like .. if it's not marketed for the car, you can't used it. In which case, you're stuck. Unless you feel like going by the spirit of the law, which in my mind is more about what you can tamper with, versus whose products you can source.

Anyway, good luck. If any of my strange research can help you, let me know. I've taken the suspension apart more times than I care to remember, and have mocked up half as many suspension setups. I have an affinity for doing things that haven't been done before (and therefore have no guides to follow).

Hell, I may just part with my set as I think I'll end up with bags anyway, and won't need the extra damping if I can get more ride height whenever I need it. Right now they are setup with 6.5K front springs and Koni WRX dampers. The rear end is easy to tweak, with separate dampers rather than a coilover design. We can talk about that as well if you're interested.

Mail me as I don't check here too often. My mail on my profile should still be valid.

Thanks for the offer, but that sort of setup would move me into a Street Prepared class which I'm not interested in doing.
